lyrics
Cover me in polythene
Shine a light on me and watch it sheen
Call out the Police and the Royal Marines
They should see what shit there has been
Cover me in vaseline
I'll slip away like the man you've never seen
Won't send you postcards or a souvenir
You could wipe away all these years
Chorus:
Here is the scene it's open to debate
(What will we see) Nothing is seen
I'm cold as ice take my advice
D'you get it
Within and without we'll get it to you
Breathe in and breathe out yeah flow right through you
Cos who has the nerve to say it's over
(What will they say)
Nothing at all
So cover me in kerosene
Throw a match to me and watch my skin scream
Turn up the heat my son I'm not done yet
Sorry I am not you will be
Cover me in polythene
Shine a light on me and watch it sheen
Call out the Police and the Royal Marines
They should see what shit there has been
Chorus:
D'you get it
Within and without we'll get it to you
Breathe in and breathe out yeah flow right through you
Within and without we'll get it to you
Breathe in and breathe out yeah flow right through you
Cos who has the nerve to say it's over
(What will they say)
Nothing at all
There's sweat on my finger tips
I got a belly full of beer shits
My head is too close to the wall
There's blood in my underwear
I don't know how I got it there
I swear I'd bust open my head should I fall
Oh yeah...
I know weaker personalities
Cos they're sitting around my home with me
I've got an ever loving wife of a sort
There's a bottle and a half to go
Well don't ask me where 'cos I don't know at all
Oh yeah sit right down
One for the road...
Chorus:
We don't stick it where it don't belong
We don't mend what ain't broken
And it's not because we're strung out on the sauce
I'm not picking up the pieces of a world that still increasingly just has to know my business
What is yours
There's hate where my liver sits
I got cigarettes to pull to bits
I don't think too much that's bad for the soul
I got bottles for good company
A great drinker and his love could be...
Well of all the stupid things I've been told
They took my car...
Chorus:
Get out if it's not for you
You stay here then you throw down too
If all the world would wait and see
The last drink's gonna be on me
Chorus:
Chorus:
I wish you were here
I wish you were here now that you've gone
(wish you were, wish you were, wish you were, wish you were here)
I wish you were here
I wish you were here now that you've gone
(wish you were, wish you were, wish you were, wish you were here)
I remember the time when I was feeling down
And I never, ever wished you were here
And then there was a time when I was feeling down
And I never ever shed a tear
I remember the sound when I hit the ground
Somebody called it fear
But now I need a hug
And now I need a love
And I really, really wish you were here
Chorus
I remember the time when I was feeling down
And I never, ever wished you were here
And then there was a time when I was feeling down
And I never ever shed a tear
I remember what I found when I hit the ground
Somebody called it fear
But now I need a hug
And now I need a love
And I really, really wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were, I wish you were here
I wish you were, I wish you were here
When I was lonely I wished you were here
He liked to talk to her about babies
She responded by saying one day
She would like to own her own bar
And as life goes on with so many maybe’s
Well maybe baby, he really would like
To find out who you are
She got through but gained nothing from her teen years
Her twenties were so many strangers in so many rooms
Sure he thinks that he’d like to save her
Cause saving’s what she needs or so he assumes
Angelica maybe, or maybe not
Just how long are you planning to give him?
Angelica play me, or play me not
You’re unlike so many other women
Impatience is all that he’s giving..
Procrastination is all that she’s got
And by his own mighty sword he’s known women
But to join this assembly so willing
She will not
‘Cos there’s something here that sounds familiar
And you can bet that il’s nothing at all to do with her age
It’s not the collecting of years that’ll kill her
But the lovers she has known
Somehow always give into their rage
So the next time she happens on mercy
He’ll be pouring his scorn right into her eyes
She will not be counting her losses
And tonight he will not be parting her thighs
‘Cos the trouble with knights and their armour
Is their sight is impaired and they’re too slow to move
Now Angelica stands in no shadows
She’s too hondsome for one
to be so easily consumed
I've been sitting 'round here I think you know that I miss you
You've freaked out and you're staying round at your sisters
I should've known, like always, that you'd say your were right
When it was me and you shouting in the middle of the night
You're in the car with your friends and we just passed on the street
You've got your text messages so we don't have to speak
How are your plans and your diet and your hangover cures?
Oh baby please pick up, it's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Well I know what you think about the things that you've heard
And I guess that sorry's not a big enough word
So I sit around the flat with the morning TV
I'll risk the lie detector and I'm begging you please
You're in the bars anbd the clubs, I can guess where you've been
And eveytime I see you, you're haning out with him
I read the stars and a piece called 'Show Her You Care'
Oh baby please pick up, it's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
If I drop all my guards and tell you more than I should
Give you no ultimatums and I promise to be good
I know that something is happeng, cause my hearts in my mouth
Oh baby please pick up, it's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
I'm not laughing
Everyone has their reasons
Everyone has their fights
Ain't no-one gonna change them overnight
Everyone's got opinions
And everyone may be right
None of us can be seen in black or white
Give me your tolerance, give me your brilliance
Share your believes, relax your self defence
Show your acceptance, give all your sufferance
With arms wide open give us your common sense
Everyone has their reasons
Everyone has their fights
Ain't no-one gonna change them overnight
Everyone's got opinions
And everyone may be right
None of us can be seen in black or white
Consider freedom, live life with reason
Put down your book of rules and be your own beacon
Accept all challenges, accept imbalances
Walk tall through your life and may you never weaker
I've got a feeling, its so appealing
We'll improve our chances the less we're concealing
It's all inclusive, never illusive
No backs to the wall and no double dealing
As the lights go on... and so we see more...
(Give me your tolerance..)
(Give me your tolerance..)
As the lights go on...
As the lights shines on...
Everyone has their reasons
Everyone has their fights
Ain't no-one gonna change them overnight
Everyone's got opinions
Everyone may be right
None of us can be seen in black or white
Oh Astley in the noose
He hasn't got a use
But he's trying
Trying to be someone
Trying to take like a man if you can
Sing an old song
Oh get back to the rope
Wash your mouth out with soap
And if you must sing
Sing an oldie
But sing it quickly
Oh spare me
Chorus:
Don't beg don't beg
I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me
Don't beg don't beg
I wouldn't kill you even if you paid me
Oh Astley it's the truth
My patience at it's roof
It's at it's ceiling
It's just this feeling
That given half a choice
A life without your voice seems more appealing
Chorus
But don't take this to heart
It's all to do with art and entertainment
I sing this lament
But from you and from peers
It's abuse to both me ears
I rest my case here
Chorus
Did anybody like it
Do you think it might offend him
Who cares
